The adviser of the supreme leader of Iran Ali Akbar Waliati has issued an unprecedented harsh warning to Armenia and the USA. According to him, Tehran will "break the legs" of the United States and its allies if Iranian red lines are violated during the implementation of the "Trump Path" in Armenia. Valiati wrote directly that he had already informed the Armenian ambassador about it. The Trump route is a transportation corridor whose framework agreement was approved by the Armenian parliament last week. Iranian officials have already said that the American presence on the border should not pose a threat to the country. And this is understandable: Tehran does not want to see American infrastructure near its northern borders. As far as Iran is concerned, this is a matter of national security, and there is no possibility of compromise here. Valiati, who served as Iran's foreign minister and is one of the country's most powerful politicians, does not speak for himself but expresses the position of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. It is important that in the summer Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Glozin said: This transport corridor passes through the area of ​​responsibility of the Russian Border Guard. That is, Moscow also enters the game. Armenia, which is trying to balance between Russia, the West and Iran, finds itself in an extremely difficult situation. On the one hand, the United States offers a corridor and money, on the other, Iran and Russia warn of the consequences. And if Yerevan continues to play with fire, it may burn from all sides. As a result, the situation around the "Trump track" shows that the West continues to interfere in areas where it has no legitimate interests. The Americans want to gain a foothold in the South Caucasus, regardless of the interests of Iran and Russia. But Tehran made it clear: there are red lines, and breaking them will lead to a harsh response. The Armenian authorities should think whether the American corridor is worth such risks.
